Reccomend this thread if you love Senator Harkin
If we could only turn back time and elect Tom as our President.
I remember catching grief for my "Harkin for President" bumper sticker but I displayed it proudly and history has proven me correct in my choice. Goodbye Senator...you will be missed! 
Tom Harkin for President 1992 Campaign Brochures: TOM HARKIN'S FIVE-POINT PLAN FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
1. End George Bush's supply-side, trickle-down, tax-breaks-for-the-rich economics. 2. Use Tom Harkin's INVESTMENT BASED ECONOMICS to invest in America -- our workers, our schools, health care and our infrastructure. 3. Stop subsidizing the defense of our allies. And use that money here at home. Invest in America. 4. Get tough on trade and stop exporting American jobs to foreign countries. 5. Help America's working families with national health care, parental leave, child care and pay equity. http://www.4president.org/brochures/tomharkin1992brochure.htm ---

31. I'm very grateful to Senator Harkin's contribution

to our country.
Here's to Iowa electing some of that "new generation of Democrats" that Harkin refered to in his reason for leaving. 
CUMMING, Iowa — Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says he will not seek re-election in 2014.
The 73-year-old Harkin tells The Associated Press in an interview, "It's just time to step aside," because by the time he would finish a sixth term, he would be 81. Harkin said it would also allow a new generation of Democrats to seek higher office. The announcement comes as a surprise, considering he had $2.7 million in his campaign war chest and was planning a fundraiser next month. Harkin played a lead role in urging the Senate's more liberal members to back the 2010 health care bill. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/26/tom-harkin-retiring_n_2557708.html |
